For all his political and business cachet, Donald Trump does not see himself as powerful.
“Well, I don’t view myself as that," the presumptive Republican nominee told Megyn Kelly in an interview set to air Tuesday night on Fox broadcasting's "Megyn Kelly Presents."
To hear Trump tell it to Kelly, with whom he sat down earlier this month at Trump Tower after the Fox News journalist reached out to him, the billionaire businessman is an everyman.
"I mean, I view myself as a person that – like everybody else – is fighting for survival. I, that’s all I view myself as," he said, according to a released excerpt. "And I really view myself now as somewhat of a messenger… You know, this is, um… This is a massive thing that’s going on. These are millions and millions of people that have been disenfranchised from this country.”

Oh, I just remembered - I heard him say a while ago he would take no salary if he becomes president.
EXACTLY
Oh, just wait until the convention is over and he's the nominee.
We ain't seen nothin' yet, I'm sure.
He’s my HERO!! He’s a true American Patriot who genuinely loves his/our country and is putting himself and his family through tremendous stress and even personal danger!!!
Just think, imagine how devoid of any hope we all would be if he had not undertaken this herculean task to give a voice and stand strong against countless enemies near and far!!
God Bless The Trump Family and I cannot wait to hear him called “Mr. President!!!”
I don’t think the interview is on Fox News (live anyway). It is on Fox Broadcasting (from what I am able to gather).
I was born a poor black child...
"The Lord loves a working man, don't trust Whitey, see a doctor and get rid of it."
Then again Trump thrives on a challenge. He sure seems like he’s having a great time. Not that he isn’t doing it for the sake of the country, I believe he is.
I agree with you, and no reason not to have fun doing it too.
“Anyone who says Trump has some ulterior motive such as $ or lust for power”
Trump has stated that he will not take his Presidential salary. He’ll be working on our interests for free.
Besides not taking a salary, I’m sure he won’t go flitting around the world to feed his ego. And, like most Republican presidents, he has his own home(s). I doubt he’ll be fleecing us for an array of opulent vacations. Frankly, Mar A Lago is about as grand as it gets.
There is virtually no way from a personal standpoint that Trump’s life would not be better NOT being President.
On the flip side, it would be the best job Bernie could ever hope to get. And the door to more riches and graft than the Clintons managed to acquire the first time around.
I never heard of Fox Broadcasting. You’d think they’d want big ratings by making it accessible.
I found the show by searching for ‘Megan Kelly Presents’. It’s on channel 39 on Direct here (but it’s a local channel, I think)
“Just think, imagine how devoid of any hope we all would be if he had not undertaken this herculean task to give a voice and stand strong against countless enemies near and far!!”
So true! I’d be as frustrated as the last 2 elections with the pitiful candidates that I knew would stab us in the back. It was the same with W.
I just found it on our Dish Network. It’s listed as KMPH 26 coming from a local channel in Fresno, aka a KMPH Fox 26. This Fox is NOT a cable network, but a local station. Anyway, I AM able to watch Kelly Presents tomorrow. Hope its a good interview and MeGyn behaves herself.
Something I received in an email from a friend. (Apologies if it’s been posted before.)

Considering that she already humiliated herself by going to Trump and begging for an interview, I would expect she knows she better behave if she ever wants him to talk to her again!
